<p>A wraparound carrier includes lockable retaining structures (140, 142, 144, 150, 152, 154) for maintaining the security and position of containers (C) in a package (100) during the process of wrapping the carrier around an article group. Each of the retaining structures includes a pair of side flaps (200, 202) that fold inwardly to cradle the heel of a container that is received in an aperture (A) along which the side flaps are hingedly connected. A pair of locking tabs (212, 213, 214, 215) is formed in part from the side flaps and in part from an adjacent carrier panel. The locking tabs cooperate to hold the side flaps in operative positions before the carrier contacts the article group, thereby eliminating the need for special packaging equipment.</p> |
